Off to Germany

So I just found out that after deployment in going to be stationed in Germany, baumholder to be exact.

So what do you guys think I'm thinking

what would be your 25 year old European only car of choice. Under 10k dollars is the only rule.

Is it allowed to follow you home? Do zee germans drive on zee proper zide of zee roads?

If it's over 25 years old, it should be possible to have it follow him home.

There should be reasonable choice, the really cheap stuff was last seen disappearing eastbound but some nice classic cars are still available.

For a do-everything car something like an E28 M5 is hard to beat. Not sure if it'll be in your price range though.

924?

To drive while there, or to bring home?

I'm not sure I'd have the same answer for both.

To bring home, early BMW or Type 34 Karmann Ghia.

Lotus Carlton

Really was there any real good built before 1985? Ford Sierra RS? Sierra Cosworth? Stay enlisted and in the service for 10 more years and bring home a 1995 ish car.

Yeah but who know's if I'm going to be in Germany in 10 years. This would be to drive while there, and to follow me home hence the 25 year old thing.

I kind of want a cosworth 190 Mercedes, I wonder how far the ring is from Baumholder, 84km

Ford Sierra XR4x4 or a 80s Ford Capri.

80s M-B 190e with either Cosworth or AMG written on it.

Something w/ manual trans, and rwd

Caterham Seven

Are you going back to the hot zone first? How long will you be there before Germany?

You should have a package waiting on you when you get back!

Audi quattro turbo?

Yeah I go back to afghanistan, on the day after christmas, I'll be back to the states in july and off to germany by november.

Thanks for the package!!!

I was also thinking diesel hilux.

I think it would be great to be stationed in Germany. You can hit the 'ring anytime you want!

audi goodness

audi goodness 2

The German 924's were pretty good cars.

Just bring WTFMI back home in one, non-leaking piece, thanyyouverymuch.

Yeah well I leak as it is, uhhh I don't even know what I mean by that

check this out i dont think itll be street legal though...

In reply to 924guy: That's sexy

Early escort?

You'll find better Opel GTs in the US - a lot of them got imported back into Germany as the German ones had long dissolved into rust.

Golf rallye? KR motor coded GTI?...mmmm...barebones CIS with a lumpier cam and minimal emissions equipment..

Yeah and Opel GTs don't really do it for me. Early escorts are an awesome idea.
